TristanHigbee.com used to look like this:
But then I redesigned it to look like this:
And I freaking love it. I love how simple it is and I love the dinosaur. I love that you don’t have to scroll down the page. I love that there are no other pages on the site.

Looking at other people’s stuff is always great for ideas, whether it’s very directly like above (“I should have an ASCII art dinosaur on my site, too!”) or indirectly (“I really like this website’s colors. I’m going to use them on an infographic.”).
And no, I didn’t draw the dinosaur myself. But hey, neither did the other guy.
